The measurement of ICT evaluates the access to, use of, and impact of ICTs in the form of statistical data and indicators. ICT measurement is a tool for policymakers, in particular those who design ICT for development policies. They can assess the status of ICT in developing countries and craft policies to maximize the benefits of ICT for those countries.
